Etymology

The word 'sheeting' originates from the Middle English 'scheting', which is derived from 'sheet', referring to a large piece of cloth or fabric. The term has been used in the textile industry for centuries, with its roots tracing back to Old English 'sceata', meaning 'a piece of cloth' or 'fabric'. Over time, the word evolved to describe not only bed linens but also other large pieces of textile used in various applications, such as covering furniture or as protective coverings in construction. The dual meaning of sheeting in both the textile and construction industries illustrates the versatility of the term and its profound impact on daily life, as well as the craftsmanship involved in both fabric and building techniques.
